The  Normal  School  for  the  State  of  New-York,  was  esta 
blished  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature  in  1844,  “ for  the  instruc-  v 
tion  and  practice  of  Teachers  of  Common  Schools,  in  the  science  \ 
of  Education,  and  in  the  art  of  Teaching.”  Its  sole  object  is  to  > 
improve  the  teachers  of  Common  Schools ; and  the  course  of  l 
study  and  conditions  of  admission  have  been  adopted  with  re-  $ 
ference  to  that  object.  > 

Each  county  in  the  State  is  entitled  to  send  to  the  School  a \ 
number  of  pupils,  (either  male  or  female,)  equal  to  twice  the  j 
number  of  members  of  the  Assembly  in  such  county.  The  > 
pupils  are  appointed  by  the  county  and  town  superintendents  at  j 
a meeting  called  by  the  county  superintendent  for  that  pur- 1 
pose.  This  meeting  should  be  held  and  the  appointment  made  s 
at  least  two  weeks  before  the  commencement  of  each  term,  or  \ 
as  soon  as  information  is  received  as  to  the  number  of  vacancies.  <> 
A list  of  the  vacancies  for  each  term  will  be  published  in  the  l 
District  School  Journal,  as  early  as  the  number  of  such  vacan-  \ 
cies  can  be  ascertained, — usually  before  the  close  of  the  former  5 
term.  > 

Pupils  once  admitted  to  the  school  will  have  the  right  to  re- 1 
main  until  they  graduate, — unless  they  forfeit  that  right  by  < 
voluntarily  vacating  their  place,  or  by  improper  conduct. 


COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

The  following  is  the  course  of  study  for  the  school ; and  a 
thorough  acquaintance  with  the  whole  of  it,  on  the  part  of  the 
male  pupils,  is  made  a condition  for  graduating  :

I The  same  course  of  study,  omitting  the  Higher  Algebra, 
Plane  Trigonometry  and  Surveying,  must  be  attained  by  fe- 
$ males  as  a condition  of  graduating. 

> N.  B.  Any  of  the  pupils  who  desire  further  to  pursue  mathe- 
| matics,  can  be  allowed  to  do  so  after  completing  the  above  course 
\ of  study. 


QUALIFICATION  OF  APPLICANTS. 

> 

Females  sent  to  the  school  must  be  sixteen  years  of  age,  and  l 


s males  eighteen.  t 

j The  superintendents,  in  making  their  appointments,  are  ] 
J urged  to  pay  no  regard  to  the  political  opinions  of  applicants.  \ 
j The  selections  should  be  made  with  reference  to  the  moral  worth  > 
^ and  abilities  of  the  candidates.  Decided  preference  ought  to  be  \ 
> given  to  those,  who  in  the  judgment  of  the  superintendents,  give  j 
] the  highest  promise  of  becoming  the  most  efficient  teachers  of  j 
\ common  schools.  It  is  also  desirable  that  those  only  should  be  \ 
i appointed  who  have  already  a good  knowledge  of  the  common  \ 
j branches  of  study,  and  who  intend  to  remain  in  the  school  until  | 
l they  graduate.  \ 


ENTRANCE. 

All  the  pupils  on  entering  the  school,  are  required  to  sign  the 
following  declaration : — 

“ We  the  subscribers  hereby  declare,  that  it  is  our  intention  to 
devote  ourselves  to  the  business  of  teaching  district  schools , and 
that  our  sole  object  in  resorting  to  this  Normal  School  is  the  better 
to  prepare  ourselves  for  that  important  duty.” 

As  this  should  be  signed  in  good  faith  on  the  part  of  the  pu- 
pils, they  should  be  made  acquainted  with  its  import  before  they 
are  appointed.  It  is  expected  of  the  superintendents,  that  they 
shall  select  such  as  will  sacredly  fulfil  their  engagements  in  this 
particular.  3

, . . . { 
j Pupils  on  entering  the  school  are  subjected  to  a thorough  j 

\ examination,  and  are  classified  according  to  their  previous  at-  > 

} tainments.  The  time  required  to  accomplish  the  course  will ! 

i depend  upon  the  attainments  and  talents  of  the  pupil,  varying  \ 

j from  one  to  four  terms.  Very  few  however  can  expect  to  gradu- 1 

< ate  in  one  term.  > 


PRIVILEGES  OF  THE  PUPILS. 

( All  pupils  receive  their  tuition  free.  They  are  also  furnished 

< with  the  use  of  text-books  without  charge ; though  if  they 
l already  own  the  books  of  the  course,  they  would  do  well  to 

< bring  them,  together  with  such  other  books  for  reference  as  they 
l may  possess.  Moreover,  they  draw  a small  sum  from  the  fund 
5 for  the  support  of  the  school,  to  defray  in  part  their  expenses. 

j It  is  proposed  to  apportion  the  sum  of  $ 1,700  among  the  256 

< pupils,  who  may  compose  the  school  during  the  next  term. 
j 1.  Each  pupil  shall  receive  three  cents  a mile  on  the  distance 
\ from  his  county  town  to  the  city  of  Albany.  2.  The  remainder 
J of  the  $1,700  shall  then  be  divided  equally  among  the  stu- 
J dents  in  attendance. 

5 The  following  list  will  show  how  much  a student  of  each 

< county  will  receive,  during  the  ensuing  term  : 

$ Albany,  $2.41;  Allegany,  $10.09;  Broome,  $6.76;  Catta- 
| raugus,  $11.17  ; Cayuga,  $7.09 ; Chautauque,  $12.49;  Che- 

< mung,  $8.35;  Chenango,  $5.41;  Clinton,  $7.27;  Columbia, 
| $3.28  ; Cortland,  $6.67  ; Delaware,  $4.72  ; Dutchess,  $4.66; 
5 Erie,  $10.93;  Essex,  $6.19;  Franklin,  $8.77  ; Fulton,  $3.76  ; 
| Genesee,  $9.73 ; Greene,  $3.43  ; Hamilton,  $4.87  ; Herkimer, 
j 84.81;  Jefferson,  $7.21  ; Kings,  $6.97;  Lewis,  $6.28;  Li- 
| vingston,  $9.19  ; Madison,  $5,44;  Monroe,  $8.98 ; Montgom- 
ery, $3.61;  New-York,  $6.85;  Niagara,  $10.72;  Oneida, 
> $5.29  ; Onondaga,  $6.40  ; Ontario,  $8.26  ; Orange,  $5.44  ; 
| Orleans,  $10.12  ; Oswego,  $7.21 ; Otsego,  $4.39  ; Putnam, 

4 $5.59  ; Queens,  $7.63  ; Rensselaer,  $2.59 ; Richmond,  $7.32 ;

Rockland,  $6.07  ; Saratoga,  $4.78  ; Schenectady,  $2.86  ; 
Schoharie,  $3.07 ; Seneca,  $7.54  ; St.  Lawrence,  $8.59 ; 
Steuben,  $8.89;  Suffolk,  $9.16;  Sullivan,  $5.80:  Tioga, 
$7.42;  Tompkins,  $7.31;  Ulster,  $4.15;  Warren,  $4.27; 
Washington,  $3.85;  Wayne,  $7.84;  Westchester,  $6.46; 
Wyoming,  $9.85;  Yates,  $7.96. 

It  is  proper  to  state,  that  if  the  number  of  pupils  is  less  than 
256,  the  sum  to  be  received  will  be  proportionately  increased. 
The  above  schedule  shows  therefore  the  minimum  sum  to  be  re- 
ceived by  each  pupil.  His  apportionment  cannot  be  less  than 
as  above  stated,  and  it  may  be  more. 

This  money  will  be  paid  at  the  close  of  the  term . 


APPARATUS. 

A well  assorted  apparatus  has  been  procured,  sufficiently  ex- 
tensive to  illustrate  all  the  important  principles  in  Natural 
Philosophy,  Chemistry,  and  Human  Physiology.  Extraordinary 
facilities  for  the  study  of  Physiology  are  afforded  by  the  Museum 
of  the  Medical  College,  which  is  open  at  all  hours  for  visitors. 


LIBRARY. 

Besides  an  abundant  supply  of  text -books  upon  all  the  branches 
of  the  course  of  study,  a well  selected  miscellaneous  library  has 
been  procured,  to  which  all  the  pupils  may  have  access  free  of 
charge.  In  the  selection  of  this  library  particular  care  has  been 
exercised  to  procure  most  of  the  recent  works  upon  Education, 
as  well  as  several  valuable  standard  works  upon  the  Natural 
Sciences,  History,  Mathematics,  &c.  The  State  library  is  also 
freely  accessible  to  all. 


TERMS  AND  VACATIONS. 


5 The  year  is  divided  into  two  terms,  so  as  to  bring  the  vaca- 
] tions  into  April  and  October,  the  months  for  holding  the 
^Teachers’  Institutes.  This  also  enables  the  pupils  to  take  ad- 
J vantage  of  the  cheapness  of  traveling  by  the  various  means  of 
J water  communication  in  the  State,  in  going  to  and  from  the 
i school. 

\ The  Summer  Term  commences  on  the  first  Monday  in  May, 
\ and  continues  twenty  weeks,  with  an  intermission  of  one  week 
< from  the  first  of  July. 

\ The  Winter  Term  commences  on  the  first  Monday  in  No- 
\ vember,  and  continues  twenty-two  weeks,  with  an  intermis- 
j sion  from  Christmas  to  New  Year’s  day  inclusive.

| PROMPT  ATTENDANCE. 

<!  As  the  school  will  open  on  Monday,  it  would  be  for  the 
advantage  of  the  pupils,  if  they  should  reach  Albany  by  the 
\ Thursday  or  Friday  preceding  the  day  of  opening.  The 
i F acuity  can  then  aid  them  in  securing  suitable  places  for 
? boarding. 

\ As  the  examinations  of  the  pupils  preparatory  for  classifica- 
$ tion  will  commence  on  the  first  day  of  the  term,  it  is  exceedingly 
| important,  that  all  the  pupils  should  report  themselves  on  the 
\ first  morning.  Those  who  arrive  a day  after  the  time,  will 
\ subject  not  only  the  teachers  to  much  trouble,  but  themselves 
<>  also  to  the  rigors  of  a private  examination.  After  the  first  week 
| no  student  except  for  the  strongest  reasons,  shall  he  allowed  to 
j enter  the  school. 


PRICE  OF  BOARD. 


The  price  of  board  in  respectable  families,  varies  from  $1.50 
to  $2.00,  exclusive  of  washing.  Young  gentlemen  by  taking  a 
room  and  boarding  themselves,  have  sustained  themselves  at  a 
lower  rate.  This  can  better  he  done  in  the  summer  term. 

The  ladies  and  gentlemen  are  not  allowed  to  hoard  in  the 
same  families.  Particular  care  is  taken  to  he  assured  of  the 
respectability  of  the  families  who  propose  to  take  boarders,  be- 
fore they  are  recommended  to  the  pupils. 


EXPERIMENTAL  SCHOOL. 

Two  spacious  rooms  in  the  building  are  appropriated  to  the 
accommodation  of  the  two  departments  of  this  school.  These 
two  departments  are  under  the  immediate  supervision  of  the 
Permanent  Teacher,  who  is  a graduate  of  the  Normal  School. 

The  object  of  this  school  is  to  afford  each  Normal  Pupil  an  / 
opportunity  of  practising  the  methods  of  instruction  and  disci- 
pline inculcated  at  the  Normal  School,  as  well  as  to  ascertain 
his  “ aptness  to  teach,”  and  to  discharge  the  various  other  duties 
pertaining  to  the  teacher’s  responsible  office.  Each  member  of 
the  graduating  class  is  required  to  spend  at  least  two  weeks  in 
this  department. 

In  the  Experimental  School  there  are  ninety-three  pupils  be- 
tween the  ages  of  six  and  sixteen  years.  Fifty-eight  of  these 
are  free  pupils.  The  free  seats  will  be  hereafter  given  exclu- 
sively to  fatherless  children,  residing  in  the  city  of  Albany. 
This  is  in  consideration  of  an  appropriation  by  the  city  to  defray 
in  part  the  expense  of  fitting  up  one  of  the  rooms  of  the  school. 
The  remaining  thirty-five  pupils  are  charged  $20  per  year  for 
| tuition  and  use  of  books.  This  charge  is  made  merely  to  de- 
| fray  the  expense  of  sustaining  the  school. 


22 


H7"  The  present  term  will  close  on  the  17th  of  September. 
The  examination  of  the  various  classes  will  occupy  the  week 
previous  to  the  close.  The  public  exercises  appropriate  to  the 
close  of  the  term  will  be  held  on  the  afternoon  of  the  17th. 
The  friends  of  the  school  and  of  education  generally,  are  re- 
spectfully invited  to  attend.
